the good life

• (yeah, check me out)
  when i look in the mirror
  i can't believe what i see
  tell me who's that funky dude
  starin' back at me
  broken beaten down
  can't even get around
  without an old man came
  i fall and hit the ground
  shivering in the cold bitter and alone
  excuse the bitchin
  i shouldn't complain
  i should have no feeling
  'cause feeling is pain
  as everything i need
  is denied me
  everything i want
  is taken away from me
  but who do i got to blame
  nobody but me
  and i don't wanna be an old man anymore
  it's been a year or two since
  i was out on the floor
  shakin' booty making sweet love all the night
  it's time i got back to the good life
  it's time i got back
  it's time i got back
  and i don't even know how i got off the track
  i wanna go back, yeah
  screw this crap i've had it
  i ain't no mr. cool
  i'm a pig i'm a dog
  so 'scuse me if i drool
  i ain't gonna hurt nobody
  ain't gonna 'cause a scene
  just need to admit that i want sugar in my tea
  hear me? hear me? i want sugar in my tea
  chorus
  i wanna go back
  i wanna go back
  and i don't even know how i got off the track
  it's time i got back
  it's time i got back
  and i don't even know how i got off the track
  i wanna go back, yeah
  chorus

• 2002'de cikardiklari black out isimli ikinci albumleri cok guzel olan bi grup. nebraskalilar sanirim. indie rock yapiolar,,
• nebraska'li cursive grubunun solisti ve beyni olan tim kasher'in yan grubu.
  
  cursive'e nazaran daha yumusak, mutlu ve keybord agirlikli pop sarkilarinin yaninda; tim kasher'in etkileyici sesi ve sozleriyle hayatin hayalkiriklarini anlatan the good life, ilk albumu olannovena on a nocturn'u (better looking records- 2000) yayinladi.
  
  albumun basarisi uzerine grup bu projenin devam etmesine karar verdi ve bes uyesiyle beraber, tim kasher(guitar, vocals), jiha lee (keyboard), roger lewis (drums), landon hedges (guitar), ryan fox (multi-instrumentalist), muziksel acidan daha zengin bir album yapmaya karar verdi.
  
  ve 2002 yilinda, ilk albume gore kesinlike muziksel acidan daha yogun, daha zengin ve daha moody, black out isimli albumu piyasaya surduler.

  oh, the good life, full of fun seems to be the ideal
  mm, the good life lets you hide all the sadness you feel
  you won't really fall in love for you can't take the chance
  so please be honest with yourself, don't try to fake romance
  
  it's the good life to be free and explore the unknown
  like the heartaches when you learn you must face them alone
  please remember i still want you, and in case you wonder why
  well, just wake up, kiss the good life goodbye
• biraz önce yabancı bir tv kanalında son yarım saatini seyrettiğim ve hiçbir şey anlamadığım film. seyretmemin tek nedeni zooey deschanel'i ekranda görüp sevinmemdi. filmin çok ağır bir havası var. başroldeki genç oyuncu iyiydi hakkını vermek lazım. birkaç gün sonra filmden aklımda kalan tek şey zooey'in şarkı söyleyişi olacak sanırım. bir de o kocaman kocaman gözleri.
